The Papertrey October blog hop challenge this month was to make a set of 5 tags. I had the idea to make several sets and then package them up in a cute way to use as teacher gifts. I got through 3 sets before running out of time for the blog hop. But, there is certainly enough time before Christmas break to make more sets. In fact, I'm sure that I will get lots of inspiration when I see what everyone else did for this blog hop.
My first set of tags uses Peaceful Pinecones. They are not all exactly alike, but I think they look like they belong together. The sentiments are from Holiday Lights, and the To/From stamps are from To You From Me. The bells are from Michaels, and there is a bit of prisma glitter on each of the pinecones.
And, here they are all packaged up:
My next set of tags uses Holiday Lights, with Glossy Accents on the lights.
Here they are packaged up, this time in a glassine bag with a topper I made using one of the Edger dies.
My last set of tags uses Two Feet Deep. Instead of using a tag sale die, I just used the sled. I put a folded partially die cut piece behind the sled where the person could write a message.
I did not get a chance to package these up, but I will. I am thinking I prefer the little box.
Well, that's it for me. I am flying up to Northern California to get together with my college girlfriends for the weekend. We have been doing this for more than 20 years. I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend of lots of talking, eating, laughing and drinking. So, I'll be hopping either Sunday night or Monday, when I get home.
Thanks for Visiting
Amazing! All of your tag sets are fabulous, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, your tags are adorable. I LOVE the way you packaged them.

ReplyDeleteJoyce these sets are all wonderful! And packaged so nicely! I put my sets in some of my plastic boxes that my stamps come in and then I made a belly band for them.

What a wonderful post my dear!
